City Pop artist Yukika’s first album Soul Lady has been getting lots of deserved attention — here’s a thread of songs by k-pop/korean artists that take inspiration from the city pop genre.
City pop (シティーポップ) is a loosely defined subset of pop music that originated in Japan in the late 1970s. It was originally termed as an offshoot of Japan's Western-influenced "new music", but includes a wide range of styles asuch as AOR, soft rock, R&B, funk, and boogie.
